I don't even recognize this country anymore...

6 years of Republican bullshit, and it is not America anymore.

I'm sitting there reading the paper this morning, and the points being made in the editorial section make me want to puke. Stuff like this: "If torture is so wrong, then shouldn't we all be against Jack Bauer in the TV series 24".

This was not a comment by some unwashed moron, this was Jonah Goldburgh. This is how these fascist freaks get their job done.

They put on a show like 24, and glorify torture for a couple years. They show you pictures of us in the act of torturing people, and say it's just "hazing". They NUMB our minds to the HORROR.

Then they take away everything that made America the best country in the world. They take away our moral highground. They take away everything that made us respectable, and humane.

The fact that, in 2006, we are "debating" haebus corpus is appauling...

If the Democrats don't win this election season, you can just forget about ever seeing America The Beatiful again.

You know what the worst part is? We're to blame. You, me, your neighbors, our families, our friends. We all let this happen. We let the events of 9/11 rob us of our reason for far to long, and now that a lot of folks are starting wake up, they are finding that they slept in too late....

Its Spain in the late Seventies under Franco (lived there - getting very spooky vibes now.)

In the times the 'Malleus Maleficarum' held sway.

Here we are passing essentially the same document in the so-called modern era.

It...is...a..frikkin'....TV SHOW!

Talk about not living in the reality-based community...

Is this Jonah Goldberg of what is it the National Review or Human Events or whatever...figures :eyes:

I thought everyone on the right hates Hollyweird and their librul bullshit.

Sometimes Fox News mentions shows on the Fox network.

against it. Ahnuld and ABC pack of lies as an example. I've never watched "24", does it advocate torture?

But, like with any show, it's FICTION. For someone to use the show 24 as an excuse to use torture is living in Wonderland.

They might as well expect every terrorist threat to be thwarted in 24 hours.

Now, if I had the funds to leave, I'd do it now, while we can.
And say "Goodbye" to the border control agents over my shoulder
from a safe distance, once I was on the other side

From here on out the snowball to Hell
is no longer on a slippery slope
it's over the cliff, in freefall

to swallow the kool-ade, trying desperately to get people to understand what is happening. we did NOT let the events of 9/11 rob us of our reason-- we NEVER lost it.

I know most of us here at DU haven't been sleepwalking.

My use of the word "we" is a collective use, as in We The People.

Especially where I currenly live... Cobb County Georgia !

I'm not exaggerating !

:D

corrected.
